Advice on online shipping labels


I am shipping my JLTi phono preamp  to Australia to update it to the latest specs. After pricing at UPS, Fedex, etc, my wallet went into a panic attack from the expected onslaught of a $300+ shipping cost. I also found other 3rd party businesses in which I can get good discounted rates. An example is $75-$95 rather than the $300. I fill out the forms and print a shipping label. However I will assume its not as easy as taking it to the UPS store and paying the price.. But I like the $90 shipping an don't mind filling out forms. So far I have encountered

Pirate Shipping, Parcel monkey, Cool parcel and Online shipping Calculatorcom  which gives various choices of shippers

My question is which site would you recommend if either. Or what site can you recommend that you have used before. Keep in mind I am an old retired guy who doesn't know all the rules and do not do international shipping very much

Thanks for your help

I sell on eBay and all the audio sites since 1999, thousands of items. Learned early not ever to ship out of the USA. It might take a bit longer, however you will always find a USA buyer eventually. It pays to be patient, never be in a hurry to sell.
